FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the design is inspired by 2000s running shoes, the 204L is intended primarily for lifestyle use and casual wear, not performance athletic training.
Are the New Balance 204L shoes unisex?
Yes, this model is designed as a unisex shoe, accommodating a broad range of adult sizes.
How do I determine my size?
The 204L uses standard adult UK sizing. We recommend choosing your usual athletic shoe size.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No. The leather construction should never be submerged in water or machine washed, as this will damage the material.
What is the primary material of the 204L?
The upper is constructed from premium leather, offering both durability and a sophisticated look.
Troubleshooting
Leather surface appears dull or dry
Apply a high-quality leather cream or conditioner to restore the natural oils and shine of the material.
Creasing in the toe box area
Use cedar shoe trees when not wearing the shoes to help them retain their shape and minimize deep creases.
Surface scuffing on the leather
Gently rub the scuff with a matching leather polish or a soft eraser if the scuff is light.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your 204L shoes last, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather surface with a soft, slightly damp cloth after use to remove surface dirt.
- Leather Treatment: Use a leather conditioner periodically to prevent the material from drying out or cracking.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the brown finish over time.
- Moisture Management: If the shoes become wet, air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, to preserve the structural integrity of the leather.
- Compatibility: The shoes fit true to size. Ensure you consult the specific UK size guide for your variant (ranging from 3.5 to 10 UK) to ensure the best fit.
